got tagged by the new kid on the block - miss dieya. wohooo...my first tag in malay.

tag ini ada 3 tasks:

• nyatakan 5 fakta menarik tentang pemberi award ini


• setiap blogger mestilah menyatakan 10 fakta atau hobi diri sendiri sebelum memilih penerima award yg seterusnya


• anda perlu memilih 10 penerima award seterusnya dan describe tentang mereka

firstly...5 facts about the giver:
1. her shoes and bag must match! that's the first thing you notice about her. she can wear a simple colour-ed outfit and then *bang* her shoes and bag are bright orange that you'll see from level 37.

2. her mobile number is very close to my mom's. i gave someone my mom's number once, intending to give dieya's number.

3. i envy her because she's now doing something she likes and in a company that permits her to do something she loves. jealousssss...dekat rumah pulak tu!

4. we always have a girls' big lunch out after we get the monthly ker-ching! kalau kat klcc tu, either chili's or mdm kwan lah.

5. she's one of the zo-sar gang (i really shouldnt make this public, should i?) before going out for prayers, i would always shout out...nadiahhhhhh solatttttt!!

10 facts about me. after doing the 'how well do you know...' quiz on facebook, i thought senang if i just smack the answer here. that way i kill 2 birds with 1 stone, ie 10 facts & 10 answers. heh...
1. my favourite colour is blue. as obvious as the sun when you see me (89% of my baju-es are blue) and when you enter my house (every single item is blue).

2. i love monopoly. used to play with tssc all the time when we were younger. he'd win of course and then would tell us the secret of getting the most out of the other players. i've got 3 sets at home - star wars, disney characters and i cant for the life of me remember the third. i also bought the powerpuff girls version for my cousin and i would love to steal tiza's united version (since the newer ones dont have an ole gunnar solskjaer box).

3. i like posh spice. i didnt like her earlier cos she seemed 'dark' but once she cut her hair for the 'stop' video, uwaaaa...smart!! when everyone was going gaga over rachel's hair, i had the posh spice hair (that was way back in 1997).

4. my favourite subject in school was maths. why? because it was straight to the point. 1+1=2, there's no 2 ways about it. if everything else fail (which most of the time, they did) i could always count on an A from my dear old maths.

5. when i was younger i wanted 5 children. no...definately not 11 (that was never a dream, it was just a tagline). initially i wanted 3. then tiza said...5 is a nice number so i said, yeah...5's good. of course, tiza being tiza, would always one-up me and said, i want 7 then! sibuk!

6. my favourite disney character is ariel the mermaid. i love her voice and her hair. i would sing 'part of the world' complete with facial expressions and hand gestures to my boys till they push me away. i have like 4 ariel mugs at home and at work. when i graduated, my sisters gave me a huge ariel card and said...only today you can pretend to be ariel. gotta find the movie on youtube.

7. if i wasnt living in BJ, i would love to live in england (oh dear god...that's so obvious!!) kent would be nice, countryside.

8. my favourite ice cream is haagen dazs strawberry cheesecake. its the ultimate yumness. i used to buy the pint-size during winter walking down canterbury high street...freezing my face off. yes tiza...chocolate chip was when i was younger (and you would get cookies and cream) and then comes coffee. note to hubby - vanilla is not a favourite but is a choice made when all else fail.

9. my favourite group is boyz II men. i used to have singing and merosakkan lagu sessions with tiza in the car. note - i like all 5 groups i listed but boyz II men wins out of the 5.

10. when i was younger i wanted to be an architect. i used to keep a few notebooks (not the IT the writing books) to draw my dreamhouses.

so there's the answers to my quiz. who takes the quiz now can get 100% lah...

10 bloggers to pass the tag to (actually this is so that the quiz takers to see my answers):
1. nolie di gombak
2. ila di errr wangsa maju ke keramat
3. tini di ampang
4. syerah di manjung
5. cik bulan dari ampang
6. ida di jepun
7. phira yg tengah pantang
8. ain...tak yah lah, dia dah tak update blog dia
9. yang sorang tu yang kat london tu (nameless...nameless :))
10. diyana kat hcmc ada blog ke?

IOU

i owe a couple of tags.

first is the supermom from mar @ momma-mia.
1.Admit one thing you feel awful about (involving being a mom). Once you have written it down, you are no longer allowed to feel bad. Remember you are a good mom!
i feel extremely bad not being able to cook for the boys. sometimes there's just not enough time in a day. i do try to cook over the weekend, usually making something very simple so that i dont have to slave over the stove. sometimes, the boys would wake up from their naps and ask for food and i cringe because the kitchen is empty. i usually resort to giving them cookies, i know that is an easy way out. i cant wait for the day when my kitchen is constantly stocked up with nutritious home-cooked food the boys can enjoy.

2. List 7 things you love about your kids, you love doing with your kids, or that your kids love about you.
(i) i love the fact that they are so close in age. that way they learn together, they grow together, they play together. they have a very close relationship, despite fighting all the time. they usually ask for one another if the "4 ninjas" are not complete. they associate things with the four of them.

(ii) they actually love my singing. i have the most awful voice yet they constantly want me to sing to them. when they're about to go to sleep i have to sing the theme song from every single playhouse disney shows. and then go into my 'on top of spaghetti' rendition and then make up songs until they fall asleep.

(iii) they are so genuine. sometimes we wear something we havent worn in a long time (for me, it would be baju kurung) and they would just stare with wonder and just go 'cantik nya mummy'. its so simple yet so genuine.

(iv) the 6 of us still share a room. i'm not sure if its because they cant sleep without us or we cant sleep without them. and i'm not sure if its a good thing but i like it and they like it.

(v) i love their individuality - amir the chatterbox (but at times he irritates the heck out of me), asyraf the handsome (of course i cant see that when he starts screaming the house down), ariff the adorable (but now he's getting to be a handful), akmal the kurus (he' still kurus!)

(vi) i like that they want to be a part of each other and a part of us. when we tickle one, the rest would come a running and ask to be tickled too. when we kiss one, the rest would come a running and ask to be kissed too. they always scream out 'amir nak jugak' or 'asyraf pulak'.

(vii) i learn a lot from them. being a mummy is not just about teaching, its also about learning - learning to be patient, learning to take things easy, learning about new medicine, new diseases, new things in the market, learning about children, learning their language, learning their characters, learning what they like and what they dont like, learning to let go of your time, learning to live with 4 hours of sleep. its a journey full of new things and a journey i'm happy to take.

3. Send this to 5 other moms of the year that deserve a reminder that they too are the best moms that they can be. Remember to send them a note letting them know you have selected them, and also add a link to your post that directs people back to the person who nominated you.
i'd like to nominate my mummy's club, everyone of them are supermoms -
(i) dayang nolie
(ii) ila - ni nak balas tag ni
(iii) azie
(iv) salwa
(v) gee
(vi) cujie
(vii) syerah

i know so many supermoms with and without blogs, so here's a big shout out to them - nina, zu@mulan, ana, irma, dott and rafiqah (who no longer update their blogs), zie, afne, inda, erin, zihan, zam, phira.

got a tag of some sort from ckn to see how addicted one is to blogging. my result was surprising, thought i'm more into blogging than it showed...

Handbag Tag

tagged by maria to reveal what's in my handbag. makcik...why me, of all people ?! the last handbag i bought was way back in 2003 (not counting the one i got as part of hubby's hantaran). i've never heard of coach till last year (all this while, "coach" to me is someone who leads footie training) and i've never, ever stepped in the coach outlet despite passing it everyday coming to work.

i'm so not a handbag person, i'm more of a "bag monyet" person. i dont carry handbags with me...i'd much rather take my purse and handphone and put it in the boys' diaper bag.

but nasib baik, i got a bag as a delivery present from my boss last year and boleh lah show off sikit. i actually requested for this bag because if i were to buy a handbag, it would be this brand - i actually have 5 polo sport /ralph lauren bags, excluding the lovely one that was snatched back in 2003.

back to the topic...this is the bag i got and i've been using and will probably continue to use for the next 5 years.

















this is in the pocket of the bag...my house key, car key and coin purse...

















important things...my LV purse (from tssc) and 11-year-old DKNY glasses...

















work stuff...office swipe card, tower 2 swipe card, lrt MTC and my old phone...

















etcetera...gums, inhaler, lipbalm and what is amir's cap doing in my bag?

















to do...mothercare 15% discount card (for amir's birthday), letter from JPN to collect ariff's mykid and letter from the bank re amir's bank account...

















so that's my bag and the cheap stuff in it. who should i tag next? heh...dot, willing to share what's in your bag? rafiqah ke, mommamia ke, azie, lia, normal ke, faith, nad (who would probably have 5 entries on this)...the stage is all yours...
